Hello, This is a reminder that Debian Bullseye will reach the end of its Long Term Support (LTS) on August 31, 2026[0]
If your Cloud VPS project still has instances running Debian Bullseye, now is the time to migrate them to **Debian Bookworm or Debian Trixie**. We have published a migration guide to help with the process.[1] As part of this migration, it may also be worth evaluating whether your workload is a good fit for Toolforge. If feasible, migrating to Toolforge can reduce future maintenance burden, as operating system upgrades are much simpler. Our goal is to complete these migrations before Bullseye reaches end of support. After the upstream LTS deadline, Bullseye instances may become subject to shutdown or cleanup as part of the deprecation process. If you are unable to complete your migration before August 31, or need assistance, please let us know as soon as possible. In addition to replying on this mailing list or contacting the Tools Platform team[2], please file a Phabricator task tagged **Cloud-VPS (Debian Bullseye Deprecation[3])** so we can track your project and work with you on a migration plan.
